_______________________________________________
The members of the Knights of Columbus,
Mary Immaculate Council #12769 and the
members of Msgr. Peter B. O’ Connor
Assembly #1543 would like to thank you for
your outstanding support throughout the year assisting us
with our various programs. From Feeding the Hungry,
Eyes for the needy, Our seminarians, Coats for Kids,
Alzheimer program, Veteran’s Programs and the list goes
on and on. Without the support of the community and the
church we could not be as successful as we are.
We also thank Fr. Vic, Fr. Rolando and the rest of the
church staff for supporting our activities throughout the
year.
May God Bless each and everyone of you and may you all
have a Merry Christmas and a Blessed and Happy New
Year. May we see world peace in this coming new year.
Did You Know?
Did you know that the chopping down of the Christmas
tree represents the death of Christ and putting it back up
again represents the Resurrection of Christ. Did you know
that the wreaths we hang are never ending circles, that
represents Eternity? Candy canes were made to look like
shepherd hooks and the colors red, Jesus’ blood, white
purity. The gifts, represents the 3 gifts the Wise Men
brought for Jesus. So when you are running around trying
to get the “perfect gift’, stop yourself, take a deep breath
and remember we have been given the perfect gift, Jesus
Christ was given to us to remove all of our sins...MERRY
CHRISTMAS

THE HOLIDAYS ARE OFTEN VERY DIFFICULT FOR PARENTS WHO HAVE LOST A CHILD. THEREFORE, PLEASE PUBLISH THE TEXT BOX BELOW STARTING NEXT WEEK AND ALL
FOLLOWING WEEKS UNTIL FEBRUARY 11, 2018:
The Offices of Family & Respect Life are offering a Morning of Healing to support families who have
experienced the loss of a child due to miscarriage, stillbirth or neo-natal death. We invite all parents, siblings, grandparents and others who are affected by the loss of a baby, either recently or long ago. Perinatal loss involves emotional, relational and spiritual suffering that requires assistance from family, friends and church leaders. It touches the lives of many people yet all too often this tragedy remains unspoken of. We hope this day will
provide those who have been affected, a day to recognize their loss, to grieve with the support of others, gain knowledge about the process of grief and obtain related resources. The agenda for the day includes: Presentations on topics specific to perinatal loss, small group discussions, a memorial service, resources and fellowship. Most
of all, we pray that those affected by this heartbreak will discover healing and hope. Babysitting, lunch and refreshments will be provided at no cost.
When: Saturday, February 17, 2018 at 8:30a m - 12:30pm at St. Thomas the Apostle Church, 60 Byrd Ave., Bloomfield, NJ. Must register online at: http://Events.rcan.org/PerinatalLoss/
